It is with shock and sadness in my heart that I inform the BBS that Deon Smith sadly died Thursday of this week.

Deon was the Tayside Airgun Club Vice Chairman and was well known in Scottish airgunning circles as well as making many new friends recently during his forays south of the border.

I remember the day Deon Joined the club, coming along with an uncle, joining in a club shoot and winning the 0.22 class with a borrowed club gun. The big grin on his face on that occasion and on many others when he'd had a good day will remain in a lot of memories.

His passing is a sad loss to the club and all those who knew him.

My condolences go to Karen and the children.
